Conditional sentences
There are four different types of conditional sentences in English. Each expresses a different degree of
probability that a situation will occur or would have occurred under certain circumstances.

 Zero Conditional Sentences

 First Conditional Sentences
 Second Conditional Sentences
 Third Conditional Sentences

How to Use Zero Conditional Sentences

Zero conditional sentences express general truths—situations in which one thing always causes another.
When you use a zero conditional, you’re talking about a general truth rather than a specific instance of
something.

Consider the following examples:

1. If you don’t brush your teeth, you get cavities.

2. When people smoke cigarettes, their health suffers (Using ‘if’ or ‘when’ is acceptable here)

First, when using the zero conditional, the correct tense to use in both clauses is the simple present tense.
A common mistake is to use the simple future tense.
This won’t come
INCORRECT: When people smoke cigarettes, their health will suffer.

How to Use First Conditional Sentences (Key word :Will)

First conditional sentences are used to express situations in which the outcome is likely (but not
guaranteed) to happen in the future. Look at the examples below:

1. If you rest, you will feel better.

2. If you set your mind to a goal, you’ll eventually achieve it.
This won’t come
INCORRECT: If you will rest, you will feel better.

How to Use Second Conditional Sentences (Key words: would, should, could and might)
Second conditional sentences are useful for expressing outcomes that are completely unrealistic or
will not likely happen in the future. Consider the examples below:

1. If I inherited a billion dollars, I would travel to the moon.

2. If I owned a zoo, I might let people interact with the animals more

Its is not in past participle form

INCORRECT : If I inherit a billion dollars, I would travel to the moon.
How to Use Second Conditional Sentences (Key words: had ,have would, should, could and might)

Third conditional sentences are used to explain that present circumstances would be different if

something different had happened in the past. Look at the following examples:
 1. If you had told me you needed a ride, I would have left earlier.
2. If I had cleaned the house, I could have gone to the movies.
This won’t come Had

INCORRECT : If you would have told me you needed a ride, I would have left earlier.

have is missing

INCORRECT : f I had cleaned the house, I could __ go to the movies

Its is not in past participle form.

VI. Identify the conditional used in the following sentences.

1. If I don't drink coffee in the afternoon, I feel sleepy

2. I will tell her if I meet her

3. If I had been there, I would have helped

4. If you had run a bit faster, you would have won

5. If he had gone to university, he would have got a better job.
